Recipe was super simple to whip up. Dough was good consistency to work with. I made a double batch, added fresh firm blueberries to one full batch (mixed them in super gently and not one popped), lemon extract, lemon rind and poppy seeds to 1/2 of the second batch and for the final 1/2 batch of dough I added currents, orange rind, orange extract, grand marnier, allspice and cardamom. Instead of cutting into pie slices from 1 large mound of dough, I used two large spoons and scooped out large globs of dough. I left a couple inches between the mounds of dough for expansion while cooking. One other thing I did, after reading some reviews about excessive spreading of dough while cooking; I used 1/2 crisco instead of all butter and I added an extra egg to my double batch. This kept the dough from spreading as much. I scooped dough mounds onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and froze them for later use. The other half of my dough I cooked on parchment paper which eliminated the need to grease the cookie sheet. I cooked the dough an additional 10 minutes, 25 min total, since my dough mounds were higher than if I'd cut pie shapes. This left them a nice touch of brown. Great base recipe that can be changed to your tastes.
